Etymology
'reaction-based' originates from the combination of 'reaction' and the suffix '-based', where 'reaction' comes from Latin 'reactio', meaning 'a response or action', and '-based' indicates foundation or reliance.
'Reaction' evolved from the Latin 'reactio', through Old French 'reaction', and into the modern English 'reaction'. The suffix '-based' was added in modern English to form 'reaction-based'.
Initially, 'reaction' meant 'a response or action', and 'based' indicated foundation. Together, 'reaction-based' evolved to mean 'dependent on reactions'.
